The Story

It’s 2021 and with liberal politics again on the upswing, Angel and Carla have received a diversity grant to put on a dramatic TV pilot entitled OVERLOOKED LATINAS. As they struggle to realize their vision, they bring on stars, get embroiled in lesbian love-triangles, and fight with their executive producer, landing in the world of slapstick comedy.

Writer-performer Tina D’Elia’s, solo comedy spins a queer and ethnically rich world - D’Elia, proves a sharp and engaging performer, her characters tending to be both endearing and amusingly full-bodied.

— Robert Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian

Tina D’Elia’s newest one-woman show celebrates queer culture, friendship and Latinx history. It also defies all theater going expectations of what makes a quality experience.
